The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is awarding almost £20 million to 15 research studies across Britain to improve the understanding of long COVID, from diagnosis and treatment through to rehabilitation and recovery.
The projects were funded following a UK-wide research call for ambitious and comprehensive research into understanding and addressing the longer term physical and mental health effects of COVID-19 in non-hospitalised people.
This briefing brought together the leads of three of the studies, part of the package of NIHR funding to help answer key questions around long COVID, including:
What are the causes of long COVID?
How effective are different care services for patients with the condition?
